Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 574 - 29: Blood Demon Patriarch

"It seems I haven’t obtained the approval of the Celestial Destiny, but it doesn’t matter."

Lin Jing glanced in the direction of the Celestial Destiny’s return, that direction... could it be that Zhu Yan?

This Zhu Yan, Lin Jing didn’t have a bad impression of him.

However, it’s a pity that in the struggle for Celestial Destiny, only one can be destined to it. He couldn’t just give up the Celestial Destiny based on an initial impression.

"The other person should also be on the move, right?"

He wasn’t in a hurry to head to Dragon Tiger Mountain but instead looked to the west, vaguely sensing a powerful aura that was no longer concealed, coming directly this way.

"In that case, let’s just sit back and watch the tigers fight. Let me see how a Cultivator at the Early-Stage Void Profound can change in strength after receiving the Celestial Destiny’s blessing."

On Zhu Yan’s side, after integrating the Celestial Destiny, his talent and potential drastically changed.

He looked surprised.

The first thing to change was the side effect brought by the Longevity Body, the issue of cultivation speed.

After the Celestial Destiny enhanced Zhu Yan’s talent, his cultivation speed increased dramatically, giving Zhu Yan the feeling that his cultivation speed had become no different from that of a normal physique!

Although it didn’t have a huge bonus to cultivation speed like some special Immortal Cultivation Bodies, being able to return to a normal cultivation speed was already a significant boost for someone with the Longevity Body who has a long lifespan!

From now on, he would no longer need to expend dozens of times the resources of ordinary people to cultivate!

This was the manifestation of the change in talent.

Besides this, Zhu Yan also felt that he had acquired a new physique, tentatively called the "Celestial Destiny Body."

This physique suddenly gave Zhu Yan’s Dao an unparalleled enhancement.

"The Dao of Gratitude." Zhu Yan’s Dao was the Dao of Gratitude. For a Void Profound Cultivator to step into the later stage of Void Profound, the sign was finding the Dao that supported their cultivation, using their Dao heart and will to transform into the Heavenly Dao of the Void Profound domain to complete this process of integrating the Dao.

The gap between the early and middle stages of Void Profound may not be large, but when facing a later stage cultivator who has integrated the Dao, the gap is immense. Unless one has other extraordinary means like top-tier Magic or supreme Magical Treasures to level the gap, it’s very difficult to be a match for a later stage Void Profound cultivator.

Zhu Yan was an orphan from a young age, adopted and taught by his master. After falling ill, he was carefully cared for by his senior brothers who had already embarked on the path of cultivation. He was very grateful to his sect.

After transmigrating, even though the Cultivation Realm he arrived in was considered very safe compared to other cultivation realms, it wasn’t smooth sailing for Zhu Yan as a Longevity Body, the journey was rather difficult.

Until he was chosen by a Seeking Dao Cultivator and became his disciple, being protected by him for thousands of years.

The person also provided countless cultivation resources. Although the person might just have intended, in his lifetime, to cultivate a Perfect Longevity Body who could, in turn, protect his descendants and sect for hundreds of thousands of years, Zhu Yan was still very grateful for the help extended to him when he was weakest.

Only after experiencing bumps in life can one appreciate stability. Without needing his master to say it, Zhu Yan chose the "Dao of Gratitude" as his path to integrate the Dao, to show that his master’s teaching was not in vain and that he would, in turn, protect the person’s family and sect for generations.

Buzz!

After the Celestial Destiny Body strengthened Zhu Yan’s Dao of Gratitude, his realm quickly improved, instantly reaching Void Profound Great Perfection without any obstacles.

In this state, Zhu Yan even wanted to impulsively break through to Seeking Dao to test whether his Dao was firm and strong enough.

However, there was no time left for him to break through now. Zhu Yan flew out from Dragon Tiger Mountain directly to the starry sky. He was sure that, not surprisingly, the other two Transmigrators must have had their eyes on him.

A great battle would undoubtedly occur next, and this battleground could not happen in the place that nurtured and raised him, to avoid harming the innocent.

Moments later, Zhu Yan arrived in the cosmic expanse, and during this process, Zhu Yan surprisingly discovered that his Magic had also seemingly received an enhancement.

He mainly cultivated talisman and lightning paths and had refined more than a dozen different types of lightning of various natures. Now, with the Celestial Destiny returned to his body, he found these lightning origins undergoing rapid transformations, imbued with heavenly will, uniformly evolving towards fiercer immortal-grade lightning, with each power beginning to rival Immortal Tribulation Lightning.

Instantly obtaining over a dozen types of immortal-grade lightning immediately gave Zhu Yan the feeling of a significant surge in his strength; thus, when he looked at the mid-stage Seeking Dao old monster standing before him, he wasn’t panicked.

With the strengthening of the power of lightning, Zhu Yan’s Divine Sense also dramatically improved, and with one glance, he could discern the true cultivation of the elder... along with the thick murderous aura on him.

"Void Profound Great Perfection, huh." Meanwhile, spotting that the Celestial Destiny Man was just at Void Profound Great Perfection, the old man in the gray tang suit couldn’t help but smile and said, "Young friend, let me tell you a story upon our first meeting." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Once, there was a wealthy man who believed money could buy anything, but when he became old, his health deteriorated, and he suffered from various ailments; he realized that money couldn’t buy his health and longevity."

"He squandered his wealth and went abroad seeking the best medical facilities, but unfortunately, it still couldn’t sustain him for long."

"However, luckily, this wealthy man stumbled into a Cultivation World, and from that point, his fortuitous streak became unstoppable. Not only did activating the Longevity Body grant him enormous longevity, but he also encountered a dying Asking Demon Cultivator, ’Blood Demon Ancestor.’ The ’Blood Demon Ancestor’ intended to possess him, but due to being in a dreadful state and because the wealthy man possessed a protective Immortal Artifact he brought from the Ancient Immortal realm, during the possession attempt, the Blood Demon Ancestor ended up becoming nourishment, failing the possession."

"Henceforth, possessing the memory of an Asking Demon Cultivator, this wealthy man understood that in the Cultivation World, a Longevity Body’s survival required doing whatever it takes, no matter how despicable the method... only thus could he achieve his goals."

"Have you understood?"

The elderly man in a gray tang suit stared into Zhu Yan’s eyes and said, "Rushing to the starry sky revealed yourself instead, fearing that in the struggle for the Celestial Destiny, individuals you cared about on Earth might get hurt."

"Even if you’ve already merged with the Celestial Destiny, my realm is still higher than yours. If I forcibly transfer the battlefield to within China, your previous secluded place, what would you do then?"

Zhu Yan took a deep breath, his eyes showing anger.

"After cultivating for so long, you still can’t let go of trivial matters and attachments; you’re not suited to slay all Celestial Demons as an Immortal Emperor. Hand over the Celestial Destiny willingly, for you clearly cannot contend with an ordinary Demon Cultivator like me. You’re destined not to complete the Immortal Emperor’s task. Young friend... this way, it’s beneficial for both of us, isn’t it?"
